On marriage:

‘The older I get, the more open-minded I get, the less judgmental I
get. I have friends who I love and admire who
have had an affair. When I was younger, I would have said, “He’s a
terrible person” or “She’s a terrible person.” But who made these laws?’ My parents were married for thirty something years, and he said it was
because they never wanted to get divorced at the same time. I think
you do fall in and out of love and you just keep going, and every time
you go through a really difficult phase, you rediscover something new
and it just gets better. We’ve been married for more than eight years
now, and we’re still into it.’

On acting:

‘I’m an actor, and it’s in my DNA, it’s in my bones and I
think I’ll always do it. It’s a difficult and intricate balance.'

On working with woman at GOOP & woman being critical towards other woman:

‘I like the companionship of working in a team; we’ve become a
collective of women, which I love. Women really need to
examine why they’re so vitriolic to other women; why they want to twist
words, why they want to read about someone else in a negative light and
why that feels good to them... But I also know a huge tribe of women who
are loving and supportive of other women, in ways that are completely
transformative.’

On woman's rights to define herself:

‘I think we are a generation of women who are different in a lot of
respects, and some of us want to be ambitious, and for it not to be a
dirty word. We want to be feminine and soft, we want to be maternal, we
want to be sexual, we want to be explorers – and we can be a combination
of all of these archetypes. You can be powerful, but you can also be
vulnerable.'
